Find beachfront adventure with pet-friendly accommodation in Gold Coast

Gold Coast is one of the largest cities in Queensland and the largest non-capital city in the country. As the name would suggest, this city is primarily known for its beaches where you can find challenging and thrilling surfing opportunities. There are calmer beaches too, so bringing your pet on holiday can be worry free. Quality pet-friendly accommodation in Gold Coast is easy to come by, and with the area’s mostly moderate weather, there’s never a bad time to embark on an urban coastal adventure with your furry friend.

Where to book your Gold Coast dog-friendly accommodation

When you’re looking for Gold Coast dog-friendly accommodation, you have to make sure you’re staying in the best location for your desired holiday experience. Don’t worry about availability impacting your decision, as there are pet-friendly accommodation options throughout both the beachfront and hinterland areas.

Finding pet-friendly accommodation by the Gold Coast beachfront

The beach is one of the primary attractions in Gold Coast for travellers with dogs and those without. A few of the major beaches in Gold Coast are pet-friendly, but the best-kept secret might be Tallebudgera Dog Beach. There, your dog is free to roam off-leash as long as you can keep vocal control. The Muriel Henchman Park Beach is also a dog-friendly portion of Main Beach. When you book pet-friendly accommodation by the Gold Coast beachfront, you can enjoy quite a few unique amenities. Some rentals are so close to the water that the waves can lull you to sleep at night while the sea air is there to greet you every morning. Many even include private yards where your dog can spend some time outside without leaving the property.

Booking pet-friendly accommodation in the Gold Coast hinterland

On the west side of town, you’ll find the hinterland area. This is where you’ll find a wide range of natural features such as parks, rainforests, mountains and caves to explore. You can take your furry friend along with you through the collection of walking trails to reach scenic overlooks such as Purling Brook Falls. Pet-friendly accommodation in the hinterland tends to be more secluded than the beachfront options, which can mean bigger yards for your dog to run around in. Rentals by the hinterland are also a bit more spacious inside, so you can bring your whole family along.
